"Embrace the Chaos" Berry Crumble
65 minServes 6
If you're looking for the picture-perfect, wins-the-county-fair-beauty-contest pie, keep looking — this is not it. But if you're looking for amazing flavor from super-healthy ingredients … that is also kind of hippy-dippy perfect in a wabi-sabi way, you're going to love this! Use whatever berries or fruit you have on hand — blueberries, blackberries, strawberries, cherries, boysenberries — and frozen is a great stand-in when fresh aren't available.
Ingredients
- FILLING:
- 5 cups fresh or frozen berries — whatever is in season or you have on hand
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tbsp arrowroot powder
- Pinch of salt
- CRUST:
- 1/2 cup coconut milk
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 1/2 cups oat flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/4 cup coconut sugar
- Pinch of salt
- 3 tbsp applesauce
- 2 tbsp nut butter
- TOPPING:
- Cinnamon and turmeric (I like a freeform tie-dye look)
Instructions
- 1Preheat oven to 425°F. Use a pan roughly 8x8; line with parchment paper unless nonstick.
- 2Combine all filling ingredients and pour into the pan. Cover and bake for 30 minutes.
- 3Stir together the coconut milk and apple cider vinegar. After a few minutes (to curdle), add the vanilla.
- 4Combine the dry crust ingredients (flour, baking powder, sugar, salt) in a large bowl.
- 5In a small container, mix the applesauce and nut butter well. Add to the dry ingredients until crumbly, then gently stir in the coconut milk until just combined.
- 6Once the filling is done, remove from oven and reduce heat to 350°F. Spread the crust over the berry mixture and top with dashes of cinnamon and turmeric.
- 7Bake 25 more minutes. Remove to cool and serve warm.
Jennifer's tip
Some call this a berry cobbler, others a berry crumble, or a berry pie — whatever you call it, call me to the table when you make it!
